I thought I was going to become the 'step-father' to, some 30 years ago---
unfortunately the relationship didn't succeed to that point---
I was engaged to the woman but we never married-

but I hope the children still remember what I told them!!

Evidence, you say? What’s that?

Such a relief to see someone openly call them out on this BS.

May Mr. Blow and Ms Welker be the beginning of an avalanche of pushback to the endless lies. Thank you! Thank you!

7. That guy should learn from what they are telling him

Instead of trying to cover his ass

Charles is right on everything he was telling him. And Abby is very good at being prepared and knowing what might come up and what she needs to know.

saying is true - he doesn't care because that's how Nazis operate. Keep repeating the lie even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

10. This is exactly what all these pundits and/or real reporters need to do

Those who can still discern the truth and believe in facts, that is..

Call the liars out for the liars they are. Don't allow the constant amplification of these strategic falsehoods because at the core this is aimed at free and fair elections. Republican stooges want the public to question the franchise, want the laws trampled so they can do their thing--further suppress the vote and purge as many anti-fascist votes as possible.

The push back is necessary, fundamental:

Where is the evidence of voter fraud?

The Republican argument that any State (particularly Blue states) refusing to break the law (giving Trump and his lackeys access to voting info) means something nefarious is afoot is just stupid and lazy. The courts have rejected these arguments innumerable times because opinion and 'feelings' ARE. NOT. EVIDENCE.

So, this was good to see and hear.

to Charles Blow. He did the audience a solid.

11. Kill me. How do people watch this shit?

The GOP toadie reasons like a 5-year-old - probably purposely to appeal to low-iq MAGA morons, or, to purposely be stupid to play his part on cable news.

It’s barely even worth refuting. Ok then, I guess the FBI should knock down this guy’s door to investigate him for being a terrorist. There’s no proof he’s a terrorist, but, that’s just because they haven’t investigated him yet! There are other terrorists out there, so, he is probably a terrorist too! We need a full investigation to determine if he’s a terrorist or not, and, I’ll continue saying he’s a terrorist because it isn’t known if he is or not before the investigation!

I want my precious iq points back please. What a complete idiot.

The lies need to be called out.

I stopped watching CNN because they would continually let Republican commentators like Scott Jennings lie without rebuke
